• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Another Epic ride with great friends... (pix)

Well my favorite ride area has finally melted enough to ride. Went up with some friends for a day over the weekend and had a great ride. Funny group I ride with, very few japanese bikes. Huskys, KTM, GG, etc. My group had my WR125, my old TXC450, Adams WR250 and a GG 250. :thumbsup: Good times...

Hey, lets ride out there...

From this ride area you are smack dab in the middle of 4 major mountains, Rainer, Adams, Helens and Hood, makes for some breathtaking views around every corner...

Some of those photos remind me of Capitol Forest. Very nice looking ride.:thumbsup:

Capitol is slightly north and mainly west of here. Not near as good riding, not by a long shot. I don't even go there any more as it is all quaded out.

What a shame that it is ruined.:thumbsdown: When I lived near there and rode it, it seemed like nobody rode up there and I never saw any quads. I barely saw other trail bikes. (of course that was 19 years ago:excuseme:)
 
Superb scenery and great photography.....Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to post up.

Nice, a few weeks ago i tried to get up the 271 to connect to 119 but got turned around because of snow and logs my pack saw could not cut.
 
we went from cat creek to hamilton butte, to yozoo to blue lake ridge trail down blue lake and back on valley. Blue lake ridge trail 272 towards 119 was still snowed in some so we did not even try. Another few weeks. :thumbsup:
 
Can't wait to get up there Thursday on my WR125, as much fun as the Gas Gas was I have a feeling the WR will be a better bike for Gifford.
